Hoax Alert: Caitlyn Jenner Did NOT Say She Wants To Be Called Bruce Jenner Again

Fact Check

Fake news site Huzlers (well known by our readers for their frequent hoaxes) is at it again. This time they are claiming Caitlyn Jenner changed his/her mind about the whole transgender thing and flip-flopped back to wanting to be called Bruce because 'she didn't feel like a woman' anymore.

Of course none of it is true. But what would you expect from a site that has terms and conditions that explicitly state:

...the information on this Web Site may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. We make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy or currency of any information on this Web Site.

The very article you are currently reading is flatly against point number five of their terms and conditions, come to think of it:

5. Linking to this Website

Creating or maintaining any link from another web site to any page on this Web Site without our prior written permission is prohibited.

Let's hope Google has written permission in that case. Or maybe they just assumed like us that point number five is probably "inaccurate, incomplete or out of date" like much of the rest of the site, for example their recent claim a teenager got pregnant from a flu shot.
